coal and tried to shut the furnace
door. Zel sprang from his box. and
| grabbing the shovel tossed in two OF
three bushels more. Then he caught
up the sledge-hammer and hung it on
the safety-valve. Ny worst fears were
realized. l knew that he was mad.
We plunged more rapidly than ever
into the darkness. The maniac ut the
throttle crancd his head from the cab
window. As he drew it back he NUT
tered several times: We'll keep her
warm, poor thing; oh, yes, we'll keep
her warm; depend on that"
"He seemed to ignore my presence
entirely. Again he got down and
heaped more coal into the furnace.
Then as he sat down he pulled the
throttle wide open. The engine leapcd
ahead with n furious bound. She
swayed from side to side like drunken
man. and the rig ratified as if palsy
stricken. Away we went like creatures
borne on the back of demon.
"Oacc more Ziel got down and
heaped in coal. The engine fairly
snor:ed as she lurched forward. now
careening over the uncaven track,
new righting herself again and gain
ing fresh impetus with every inch. On
and on she rushed into the midnight.
Faster and faster she flew-headlong
over bridges, tearing around curves,
plunging down grades, wh;zzing past
stations. whose red and green lights
glared at us an instant like the eyes of
kindred demons, and the next instant
were buried again in the black gulf;
dashing over crossings and over roads,
CT and still on we went with the swift
ness OF q whirlwind
Il knew that there was a freight
not many miles ahead In a lew
minutes We would inevitably dash in
to IT, and not a mothers soI on either
Train could be saved The thou ght
